Cayla continues to demonstrate her inexhaustible good will and/or masochism, helping Les prepare for The Event Which Must Always Be Referred To By Its Full Name. What constitutes the bigger hardship for Cayla: having to stand in the rain, or being eye-level with Les’ narrow butt and pallid, spindly legs?
Run-Up to the Run
“We’re here to help with the preparations for the Lisa’s Legacy Run™,” Cayla helpfully exposits. Well, it’s a safe bet she won’t be assigned to sandwich-making duty. Already Les is in such a tizzy that he can’t even put down that box (which is probably not as heavy as he makes it look) to greet his fiancé and her daughter.
It's Called Cheating
Les vents to his “work wife” Linda about how another student tried to pass off a purchased paper as his own work. I wonder if that student’s offense was dealt with as lightly as was Maddie’s? “Everyone deserves a second chance, Cory…so here’s what I’m going to do. Your dad owns a pizza parlor…so why don’t you make a pizza in the shape of a whale?”
Moby Dick-Les
Well, we’ve certainly gotten to know our Maddie a little better over the last couple of weeks; for example (as snarker John commented on Wednesday), we’ve learned that she and Jinx are BFF’s. But although we know she’s in the band, when has it ever been demonstrated that she’s “musically creative like [her] Dad”? And how “musically creative” does one have to be to master “air guitar”?
And a musical “Moby Dick”? Why…it’s been done:
Self In-crib-inating
Maddie is shocked, shocked, to learn of the existence of plagarism checking sites. It gets worse: she’s paid good money for a plagiarized plagiarism! In the interest of full disclosure: in spite of the implausibility of the twice-“cribbed” paper (and anyway, what difference would it make?)…Maddie’s Moe Howard-like reaction made me smile.
